VACANT  PUBLIC  LANDS  ON  JULY  1,  1916. 


Department  of  the  Interior, 

liiENERAL  Land  Office, 
V/asMngton,  D.  C,  July  1,  1916. 

The  following  tables  show,  by  States,  land  districts,  and  counties, 
the  area  of  unappropriated  and  unreserved  public  lands,  STirveyed 
and  unsurveyed,  with  a  brief  statement  of  their  character. 

These  figures  are  as  nearly  correct  as  is  possible  under  the  circum- 
stances, and  are  mainly  intended  to  convey  general  information  as 
to  the  quantity  and  character  of  public  lands  in  the  land  districts 
and  counties  of  the  different  States.  The  General  Land  Office  can 
furnish  no  more  definite  information  as  to  the  location  or  character 
of  the  vacant  lands  than  is  here  given. 

Neither  the  General  Land  Office  nor  the  local  offices  can  advise 
inquirers  as  to  the  location  of  the  unappropriated  tracts  in  counties 
where  only  a  few  acres  are  reported  as  vacant.  InfoiTaation  on  that 
subject  may  be  obtained  by  a  careful  examination  of  the  records  of 
the  local  offices,  which  are  open  for  inspection  when  not  in  official  use. 

A  diagram  of  any  township,  showing  the  entered  lands  thereio, 
may  be  obtained  from  the  register  and  receiver  of  the  proper  local 
office  at  a  cost  of  $1;  in  ordering  such  a  diagram  the  township  and 
range  numbers  should  be  given. 

If  because  of  the  pressure  of  current  business  relating  to  the  entry 
of  lands  registers  and  receivers  are  unable  to  make  the  plats  or  dia- 
grams mentioned  above,  they  may  refuse  to  furnish  the  same  and 
return  the  fee  to  the  applicant,  advising  him  of  their  reason  for  not 
furnishing  the  plats  requested;  that  he  may  make  the  plats  or  dia- 
grams himseK  or  have  same  made  by  his  agent  or  attorney;  and  that 
he  may  have  access  to  the  plats  and  tract  books  of  the  local  land 
office  for  this  purpose,  provided  such  use  of  the  records  will  not  intor- 
fere  with  the  orderly  dispatch  of  the  public  business. 

The  local  officers  furnish  prospective  settlers  general  advice  as  to 
lands  in  their  respective  districts  and  literature  regarding  the  method 
of  making  entry.  However,  personal  inspection  must  be  made  of 
the  tract  to  be  entered  before  application  is  filed,  and  the  settler 
should  exercise  great  care  to  satisfy  himseK  as  to  its  character  before 
taking  any  other  step.
